Hurricanes are influenced by a number of interacting factors that are often difficult to understand and predict and are not fully understood. Meteorologists use a variety of different weather models to track and predict hurricanes, and projections are made from factoring in all or most of the models used. However, the models often disagree with one another, sometimes to a large degree.

∙ 10y agoMeteorologists often try to predict the landfall of a hurricane several days in advance. The farther into the future you try to forecast the weather, the greater the certainty becomes. Scientists generally do no try to predict the path more than 5 days out. There are a number of things that can influence the path a hurricane will take. Predicting how and to what degree they will affect a storm requires the use of complex forecast models, but the models are not always consistent.

∙ 9y agoWhile general predictions about severe thunderstorms are fairly good, where and when individual storms strike and how severe they will be are sensitive to small fluctuations in the atmosphere that are hard to measure. Factors leading into the storms intersect in very complicated ways that scientists still do not fully understand.

Is hurricane a land disaster?
Not quite. A hurricane forms over the ocean, but usually only cause significant damage if they hit land. When they strike, the worst damage is usually limited to coastal areas, but severe flooding and occasional tornado outbreaks can occur further inland.
What point is it when a hurricane hits land?
When the eye of a hurricane moves over land, it is called landfall.
Do hurricanes form in southeast Asia?
No. Hurricanes form over water, not land. However Typhoons (essentially the same thing as a hurricane) can form over the Pacific ocean and strike southeast Asia.
What should we do if we don't want the hurricane to come?
Even if we don't want the hurricane to come, there's nothing we can do about it. Hurricanes might come if the weather is hot enough. Hurricane is just part of weather. No one can control the weather. Weather is just part of nature. Natural events are typically uncontrollable, and it just happens by the nature. If the hurricane might be approaching and it may hit the land, there's nothing you can do about it because no one can control the weather and other natural events. However, it's still possible that the hurricane might not hit land, but whether it'll happen or not, it pretty much goes with the probability. We can't stop hurricanes from coming, but we can get prepared if there's a hurricane warning, so that you'll still be safe.

Do the hurricanes in Louisiana get up to a category 5?
Potentially. It is very rare for a hurricane to strike land at category 5 intensity. Hurricane Camille in 1969 is the only hurricane to have done so in Louisiana in recorded history.

Are you safe on a cruise ship during a hurricane?
No you can not be at all safe in a hurricane. You are never safe in a hurricane, whether at sea or on land. The experience and skill of a certain captain of your cruise ship might lower your risk of injury somewhat, but you do not want to be in a huricane, ever.
When a storm might hit land within 24-36 hours is called?
With regard to a hurricane or tropical storm, a warning is issued.
Do hurricanes form in southeast Asia?

When and where will the next hurricane strike?
